Description krienke 2011-05-25 10:37:21 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

I am using kmail 2.0.96 (actually kontact 4.6rc1). In the kmail component I have defined several imap accounts that work fine. Now I wanted to create a new folder at the same level like eg the inbox folder is. This seems to be impossible since kmail only allows to creaate a subfolder of an existing folder but not a toplevel new folder. There is simply no menu entry to do this. When you select an existing folder then the contect menu shows a "create folder" entry and the new folder is a subfolder of the selected on. However you cannot select the imap account itself and then create a new folder since the menu entry to do this is missing.

Creating a new toplevel folder for the same imap account in thunderbird is no problem.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an imap account in kmail and try to create a new folder that is at the same level like your inbox, trash or other existing folders. Usually you do this by selecting the imap account in kmail and then select create folder in the context menu. In kmail in this situation there is no such conttext menu or any other menu to do this.

Hi. I can confirm this behavior with git master.
